	~~;[[deduction]]: A line~~ of ~~reasoning from the general to the specific.~~		===Types of Inferences===

	;[[induction]]: A line of reasoning from the specific to the general.		;[[logic\|deduction]]: A line of reasoning from the general to the specific. If you know that all men are mortal and Socrates is a man then you can deduce that Socrates is also mortal.
			;[[concept formation\|induction]]: A line of reasoning from the specific to the general. If you see men growing old and dying then you can induce that all men are mortal.

	~~===~~[[identity\|~~tautology~~]]===		Both induction and deduction are based on the [[identity\|law of identity]].

			===Tautologies===

	A tautology is a sentence which repeats the same information. For example:		A tautology is a sentence which repeats the same information. For example:
			*"This bachelor is not married."
	*"They fatally died."		*"They fatally died."
	*[[Existence\|"Existence Exists"]]		*[[#Tautology\|"This is an example of a tautology."]]
	*[[#~~tautology~~\|"This is an example of a tautology."]]
			The [[identity\|law of identity]] dictates that all truths must ultimately be tautological, although some tautologies can be false. All three [[axioms]] are explicitly tautological.

Added a link to itself in order to explain "tautology"
